yesterday i took the afternoon off the tank commander had asked if i could do something with all the frozen G/B i had gathered over the last season as it would be nice to get some real frozen food in it ::) ::)so i thought i'd help so i went fishing with at least 17 litres of mixed up G/Baits from roach ,lake soiled up mixes and even fishmeal i think i took max and we headed off to the greens a section of the river soar that holds great numbers of roach,perch tench bream and skimmers aug,sept and oct are the best months for the section
park more or less behind the pegs set up a positive rig 1 gram two dropper so max could handle it 0.10 hook length because of the pike and a 16s hook
max sat on the box as made up 20 jaffas with a few dead pinkies and casters in them not hard but just enough to get to the bottom of the six foot peg
max cracked up asi started throwing them in all around 1ometres as max can hold the pole at that quite easy now
BOOM BOOM SPLOSH the lot went in even max throw a couple near the mark anyway
we sat back and waited for it to settle we'd still got another bag for topping up
well stone a crow first Putin after 10 minutes the float went under and 2ft of laggy came out and max holding on for dear life and me looking at the pole a few minutes later a tench of 3lb hit the surface and was gasping to get in the net well done max its my go for the next hour roach,skimmers of 4 to 6oz came in one after the other the odd better fish but nothing else to wet the net . max was getting a bit fed-up with catching theses fish so i had a go and just caught more and more hen i suddenly hit another big fish another red eyed tench into the net followed by a perch 1lb and one about pound and half yet no pike trouble by now the G/B WAS FIZZING right through the peg so how many fish were down there god knows out of fun i decided to put a ball right on there heads after a few runs down it was back to roach a chuke we stayed for 4 hours and must of had 15 to20lb of fish and could of carried on catching i'm sure
driving back home max is a boy of very few words said" if you did that every sunday dad you'd win a lot more matches" i said what he replied FULL THE RIVER UP WITH G/B it make me think in the old days we did we had all this sensas G/B to try and we did put 20 balls at a time i just wonder what goes around comes around watchout evsham it could be your lucky day
